Resetting a port
You can reset a port by toggling its link state and PoE state. WSS Software disables the port’s link and PoE (if
applicable) for at least one second, then reenables them. This feature is useful for forcing an AP that is
connected to two WSS switches to reboot using the port connected to the other switch.
To reset a port, use the following command:
reset port port-list
Displaying port information
You can use CLI commands to display the following port information:
Port configuration and status
PoE state
Port statistics
You also can configure WSS Software to display and regularly update port statistics in a separate window.
Displaying port configuration and status
To display port configuration and status information, use the following command:
show port status [port-list]
To display information for all ports, type the following command:
# show port status
In this example, three of the switch’s ports, 1, 5, and 6, have an operational status of up, indicating the links on
the ports are available. Ports 1 and 6 are network ports. Port 5 is an AP access port.
